Basic Help

Hi All,

I am new to building installers and have no background in doing so. The situation i am in is that i have an installer in an MSI file and half way through it asks me for the server which is \\ll-emailarchive when typing and hitting next i get a warning message saying couldn't confirm settings and i hit Yes then it finishs and works.

With this software i want to be able to eliminate the need for the user to select these options so i can push it via Group Policy, i have small help file from the vendor but have no idea how to build it in to a cusotm MSi file for our company. The info i have is - MSIExec /i “<path>\C2C ArchiveOne Enterprise (Policy) LaptopClient.msi” EXCHANGESERVER=<name>

I just wondered if anyone could advise to where i should start,

Re: Basic Help

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

I'm glad you got this working. Also, here's the Deploy a MSI through GPO tutorial which describes how to deploy a MSI on multiple machines by using Group Policy.

If you have other questions, please let us know.

Best regards,
Dan
